Chapter 67 The Future Level 9 Soul Master Heads to Xingluo
Lingya's experiment was a great success.
With this proof template, once the second pill is produced, he can confidently create more subordinates at the Title Douluo level. Youheng has a feeling about his martial soul; as long as he obtains a strong enough martial soul true body, the five-year interval between pills can be shortened.
Unfortunately, due to the side effects of the Yin-Yang Reversal Lotus Seed Pill, even after absorbing five ten-thousand-year soul rings in succession, Ling Ya's level was still only level ninety, and he didn't even reach level ninety-one.
In general, a level 90 Title Douluo does not exist, because as long as the absorbed ninth spirit ring is decent, it can basically raise one level. However, when Ling Ya absorbed it, most of his spirit power was lost.
However, it wasn't that there was no improvement at all. Ling Ya's body was just finding it difficult to gather soul power, not that he couldn't gather any at all. These five soul rings had lost more than 90% of their soul power, with about 10% remaining in his body, allowing him to go from the initial level 90 to the peak of level 90.
If he had another high-level soul ring, he might be able to break through to level 91.
Dai Youheng looked at Ling Ya, who stood respectfully before him, and then at the frost giant's torso bone radiating chilling energy in his hand. This soul bone was of good quality, but it was of little use to him; his goal was at least a 100,000-year soul bone.
After a moment's thought, Dai Youheng tossed the torso bone back to Ling Ya. "Absorb this soul bone yourself. The torso bone provides the greatest boost to your physique and may help you break through this final bottleneck and reach level ninety-one. More importantly, it can make up for the gap in physical attributes between you and a normal Title Douluo."
What he needs is a sharp blade that can truly fight, not a paper tiger with empty titles and abilities.
At the very least, after absorbing this 40,000-year-old torso bone, Ling Ya's strength should be able to steadily reach the level of an ordinary Title Douluo, so that he wouldn't be unable to contend with even the likes of the Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang.
Ling Ya accepted the soul bone, feeling the immense energy it contained, his eyes flashing with boundless excitement and gratitude. He knelt on one knee again, his voice choked with emotion, "Young Master's kindness is immeasurable! Ling Ya can never repay it, even with his life! I will certainly live up to Young Master's expectations!"
He knew this was not only a blessing, but also a further tempering and refining of his blade by the young master. Without hesitation, he immediately began to absorb the torso bone that was extremely compatible with his attributes.
Absorbing a 40,000-year-old soul bone with the strength of a Title Douluo is extremely easy for Ling Ya. In less than half an hour, he had already completed the absorption.
With the help of the power from five ten-thousand-year soul rings and a ten-thousand-year soul bone, his soul power finally barely reached level ninety-one from level ninety.
They also obtained a very good Soul Bone Skill.
Named Frost God Power, this soul bone doesn't offer flashy attack effects. Instead, it directly and purely bestows upon the user the core power originating from the Frost Giant race. It grants the user terrifying physical strength capable of tearing apart the earth and shattering icebergs with every move. The user can withstand the true spirit body of a powerful attack-type beast soul master of the same level with their bare hands.
Ling Ya stared at his hands in disbelief. They were too strong. This was the true power of a Title Douluo, a power he had never dared to imagine before. At this moment, he truly saw the hope of completing his revenge.
Ling Ya immediately knelt before Dai Youheng and kowtowed three times, expressing his deep gratitude to the young master. The force was so great that it even caused tiny cracks to appear on the ice!
"Lingya thanks Young Master for his life-saving grace. This kindness and virtue will never be forgotten! In this life, Lingya will be the sharpest blade in Young Master's hand, cutting down all obstacles!" His voice trembled with extreme excitement, yet it was full of determination.
Dai Youheng accepted his three bows without hesitation, then said calmly, "Get up. This is what you earned with your loyalty and future; you deserve it."
Ling Ya stood up, his face still flushed with excitement. He hesitated for a moment, then respectfully asked, "Young Master, now that I have been promoted to Title Douluo, I should have a title according to the rules. I would like to use 'Ice Sky' as my title. What does the Young Master think?"
Ice represents his martial spirit attribute; Void refers to his ability to soar through the sky.
Dai Youheng waved his hand dismissively, "The title is your own business; you can decide for yourself."
"Thank you, young master!" Ling Ya said firmly.
However, Dai Youheng's next words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing some of his overheated emotions.
"However, Ling Ya, you need to be more clear-headed." Dai Youheng's tone turned serious. "Although you are now a level 91 Title Douluo and possess the Frost God Power Soul Bone Technique, going to seek revenge against the Xuanming Sect alone is still a suicidal act."
Ling Ya's expression hardened, and he listened attentively.
"The Xuanming Sect has a thousand-year history and profound foundation. There are far more than just one or two Title Douluos within the sect, and their martial soul, the Xuanwu Shield, is a top-tier defensive martial soul, with soul power quality and defensive capabilities far surpassing your Ice Feather Eagle. It's unknown whether there are any Super Douluos with cultivation levels above 95 among them. Going there now is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ya's fervent desire for revenge cooled considerably, replaced by a sense of anxiety and confusion. Indeed, the Xuanming Sect was an enormous behemoth.
However, his cultivation level is limited by the pills and has almost reached its limit. He will probably never be able to break through level 92 in this lifetime.
Seeing the disappointment in Ling Ya's eyes, Dai Youheng changed the subject, offering a word of advice, "Difficulty in leveling up doesn't mean your strength can't grow. Don't forget, besides being a Soul Master, what other identity do you have?"
Ling Ya was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst forth with a brilliant light, as if he had been enlightened!
"Soul Master! That's right, I'm still a Soul Master!" he almost cried out. The immense increase in power had momentarily clouded his judgment, and he had completely forgotten his original specialty!
Dai Youheng nodded and continued to analyze for him, "That's right. As far as I know, many Title Douluos in the Sun Moon Empire also relied on drugs and various other methods to forcibly raise their levels, and most of them remained at level 91 to 94 for their entire lives. However, many of them, with the support of high-level soul tools, could actually surpass those Super Douluos who had worked hard to reach their level!"
"You are now a Title Douluo, possessing immense soul power and even stronger mental strength to control and inscribe the core magic array. With your talent, if you focus on studying the way of soul tools, you may very well reach level eight, or even touch the threshold of level nine. Once you become an level eight soul tool master, combined with your Title Douluo cultivation and this torso bone, then you will truly have the capital to challenge the Xuanming Sect and even seek revenge!"
These words completely pointed the way forward for the lost Lingya! The flame of hope burned brightly again, and it was clearer and more realistic than before!
Dai Youheng took out several slightly old manuscripts, densely covered with complex formulas and structural diagrams, from his storage soul tool and handed them to Ling Ya. "These are manuscripts I obtained by chance, from the research of a level nine soul master. The knowledge involved is very profound, and they may be of reference value to you."
He obtained this from looting when he first came to this world. Since it was useless to him, he gave it to Ling Ya.
Lingya accepted it respectfully, and after only a cursory glance, he was amazed by the exquisite yet obscure design concept, and at the same time realized that his own foundation was still lacking.
Looking at his expression, Dai Youheng cautioned, "The knowledge inside is valuable, but remember not to be overly ambitious. In the path of soul tools, a solid foundation is crucial. Right now, the most important quality for you is the willingness to ask questions. Don't become complacent and stagnant just because you've become a Title Douluo. Even if you encounter a Soul King or Soul Emperor-level Soul Master, as long as they are more proficient in the field of soul tools than you, you must humble yourself and learn from them. Accumulate knowledge bit by bit, solidify your foundation, and you will go further in the future."
Ling Ya carefully put away the manuscript, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply with utmost solemnity. "Yes, Ling Ya will heed your teachings, Young Master, and will never forget them!"
At this moment, his admiration for Dai Youheng had reached its peak. The young master had not only bestowed upon him power, but also shown him the right path to becoming strong.
Dai Youheng nodded in satisfaction, looked up at the sky, and said to Xiaobai, "Alright, this matter is settled. We should get going. Xiaobai, thank you so much this time. You should go back to the far north first. Next, I need to head to Xingluo City immediately and come see you again later."
If he doesn't go to Xingluo City soon, he won't be able to snatch the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
He looked at Ling Ya, a slight smile playing on his lips. "By the way, now that you've achieved the title, the task of traveling is entrusted to you. Activate your Martial Soul True Form, and let me experience the feeling of soaring atop a Title Douluo's mount."
"Yes, young master!" Ling Ya replied with a surge of pride, without any hesitation.
The next moment, accompanied by a loud eagle's cry, the seventh spirit ring suddenly lit up!
Amidst the dazzling light, Lingya's figure rapidly expanded and transformed!
A giant ice-feathered eagle with a wingspan of over fifteen meters, its entire body seemingly sculpted from black ice, appeared on the ice plain! Its feathers were crystal clear, with sharp edges, radiating a powerful aura and extreme cold—it was his true martial spirit form!
With a light leap, Dai Youheng landed steadily on the broad, cold back of the Ice Feather Eagle.
"Hey——!"
The giant eagle that Ice Sky Douluo Ling Ya transformed into let out a long cry that pierced through gold and shattered rocks. Its huge wings suddenly flapped, stirring up a sky full of wind and snow. Its massive body soared into the sky like an arrow released from a bow, transforming into a streak of ice-blue light. It sped towards Star Luo City at a speed far exceeding that of Dai Youheng's own flight!
The speed of a Title Douluo is indeed extraordinary. Dai Youheng stood with his hands behind his back on the eagle's back, the strong wind blowing his robes fluttering, but his gaze was already fixed on the distant capital of the empire, which was about to be swept by storms.
